Now, he said, having a Mirrorball Trophy, “feels amazing.”
Kelsey had cheered on her fiancé not only from the sidelines on the Dancing With the Stars ballroom set but also on social media.
“Every Tuesday right after his performance, Joey texts me, saying, ‘I hope I made you proud,’ which of course he does—but honestly, he makes me proud every single day,” she wrote on TikTok the day of the finale. “It’s not just about his accomplishments; it’s the way he treats others and the unwavering commitment he brings to everything he does.”
The 25-year-old continued, “When Joey sets his mind to something, it’s truly inspiring to watch him give it his all. From The Bachelor to our life together after the show, to his journey on Dancing With the Stars, it’s been incredible to see his dedication and drive through it all. I am, and always will be, his biggest cheerleader and supporter.”
And trophy or not, Joey felt like a winner with Kelsey by his side.
“This made me tear up baby,” he wrote in the comments. “Thank you for being the best support system and lifting me up during this crazy time. Love you forever.”
